Making workplaces inclusive for people with disabilities
I know what it's like to live with a chronic illness. When I was diagnosed with MS in 2018, my whole life changed, and the world became a much more challenging place to navigate. Work was suddenly full of barriers that I hadn't noticed before and I needed to ask for adjustments to be made.
What I learned during that time, coupled with my experience in change, communications, corporate strategy and events planning was that I was able to be a powerful voice for myself and others and effect change. I used that voice to lead the disability employee network and advocate for improving disability inclusion.
Now I'm using these experiences and skills to work with businesses to do the same. To create workplaces where everyone is able to thrive at work, no matter whether their mental, social or physical health condition is temporary, permanent, acquired or inherited.
What I offer
I can help you to:
- Develop a disability inclusion strategy that aligns with existing business goals
- Establish and/or nurture your staff networks that work for employees with disabilities
- Plan impactful campaigns and events to inspire and educate

I'd really love to work with you to support your disability inclusion journey. Let's work together to make work accessible and inclusive for everyone.
What I do
Expert Disability Inclusion Strategy
I'll talk with you to find out your disability inclusion goals. Together, we'll map your goals to the company strategy and work out the messaging that will ensure change can be driven from the top down as well as ground up. We'll define the road map for your journey and work out how you'll measure success along the way.
Effective Campaigns and Speaking Events
I'm a well practised public speaker and can deliver content on a range of topics. Content, direction and message are all negotiable.
If you're looking for a longer campaign to time with an event like IDPWD, my communications expertise will help you craft a programme to inspire and educate.
Empowering Employee Networks
Your employee network plays an integral role in your disability inclusion journey. From direct support to individuals, to leading the projects and campaigns which will effect change, your staff networks will need to be set up for success. As an accredited network lead, I can support your team as they navigate this important work.
